Within the shi ing landscape of global energy markets, Genera on mPower nuclear plants will deliver a solu on designed for todays regulatory, policy and nancial reali es.
Integral nuclear system design Passive safety systems Four-year opera ng cycle between refueling Less than five-percent enriched fuel Secure underground containment
Proven Performance
The modular and scalable Genera on III++ design allows Genera on mPower to match the genera on needs of our customers with the proven performance of exis ng Light Water Reactor (LWR) technology. With fewer components and systems, overall reliability is enhanced and aordability improved. The scalable design oers exibility so that mul ple reactor modules can be aggregated to support local customer requirements and infrastructure constraints.
Industry Experience
Building on the strengths of two industry leaders, Genera on mPower LLC is a company formed between Babcock & Wilcox Nuclear Energy, Inc. (B&W NE) and Bechtel Power Corpora on (Bechtel). B&W NEs exper se in nuclear engineering and manufacturing combined with B&W mPower reactor technology and Bechtels plant engineering, procurement and construc on capability create a progressive energy solu on that meets the needs of todays changing power genera on industry.

Addi onal Genera on mPower Nuclear Plant Features and Solu ons
Flexible and scalable to local needs
Integrated reactor modules Multi-unit (1 to 10+) plant North American shop-manufactured Rail-shippable nuclear steam supply system (NSSS)
Genera on mPower oers a skilled workforce through an integrated supply chain in its exis ng facili es that will design and fabricate the NSSS components, reducing direct costs and streamlining construc on.
Accepted ALWR concepts Passive safety system No on-site NSSS construction Three-year construction cycle
Tightening capital markets: The Genera on mPower solu on is expected to lower the overall capital cost of construc on and op mize plant size to customers local power genera on requirements. Also, the ability to bring increments of power online, while addi onal modules are under construc on, should provide early returns on investment for the customer. Changing geopoli cal climate:
Genera on mPower works within environmental regula ons to supply innova ve electricity genera ng capabili es. Each module will provide zero-emission opera ons, contribu ng to the reduc on of an es mated 57 million metric tons of CO2 during the life me of each reactor.
Internal steam generator No need for safety-grade backup power No external pressurizer Conventional core and standard fuel No large pipe break Loss of Coolant Accidents (LOCA)
Protec ng the environment: The reactors air-cooled condenser op ons, underground containment and small site footprint all help minimize environmental impact.
